Volume 43 and 44 (edited)

We should probably take a closer look at the first panel on page 14-15 like Razor789 said.

The chapter list on page 7 should be typeset. It can be done by using this translation and by looking at the RAW scan.
So the TL for the fourth gray box is missing? I'll talk to ShadowGlow.
One page 25 in the third black box you should remove the 'A' in the beginning of the sentence: 'A ruins' --> 'Ruins'

I wrote pg 14 + pg 15 for a reason =.= I'll put (JOINTED PAGE) next time.
There's nothing missing for page 25.
Okay for the Ruins

On the RAW scan there is text in the fourth gray box on page 25.

ShadowGlow, is there any info in the chapter list on page 7 that isn't translated by Serebii.Net? I'm wondering since there are Japanese characters on both sides of the chapter number and I'm guessing that only one of the means chapter? Also, what is the TL of the characters in the gray circle on that same page?

EDIT:
I think I found some answers to my questions about the chapter list: http://www.jb2448.info/Pokemon_Adventures_42/Pokemon_Special_v42_c449/Pokemon_Special_v42_c449_013-neuquant

I translated it right to left, but he typesetted it left to right.
The 4th box is Creation
Anyway, I've bolded the correct 'headings' for each sections.

It's more like "No. 457th chapter". It'll always need the two characters.
The circle is table of contents.

Oh ya, on another note, watch out of the typo of sinjoh for sinnoh. I believe I've corrected it in the script already.

Edit: I've seen pg25 =.=, he missed the whole Plates section

Ah, now I get it:

1st gray box: Plates
2nd gray box: Judgement
3rd gray box: Sinjoh Ruins
4th gray box: Creation

Page 4, 5 is also a jointed page,
Remember pages are read from right to left.
[5][4]
The most right side of the combined page is page 4. I really have to apologize if the script wasn't clear enough.

some can probably merge the pages once the typesetting and QCing is complete.

One group of the text is at the wrong place.

Could you specify?

So I should redo pages 4 and 5 and 14 and 15 as one jointed page?  The Goldenrod Radio truck still has Japanese text.  Fixed the Plates section and I moved the ad for HG/SS into the space in the third white box under the screenshot.  It shouldn't bother anyone there.

EDIT: Fixed pages 14 and 15.

Sorry not sure if Manga Reader X already pointed it out but on page 7 of ch. 457, VS Tepig isn't indented like the other chapter titles. You should probably fix that.

Fixed.

EDIT: Added SFX notes and updated Chapter 457.zip.

EDIT 2: I somehow managed to delete the folder in Google Drive when I emptied the trash. New link.

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B3qiMNKFfl1hZmxwUTg3YlhEVEk&usp=sharing

The Google Drive folder is empty. I'd like to QC the newest version before I go away for a while tomorrow.

It's still uploading.  Give it about five minutes.

Ah, ok.

I've uploaded the file.

Sorry, page 25 will be a little bit delayed, I've managed to delete the almost finished file ._.

lol XD
Ok

OK, I finally managed to open these files. Here are some QC's:
1. On page 5, first panel, it says "grow with together with their Pokemon". That doesn't make any sense. Take out the bolded.
2. On page 13, last speech bubble, it says "prioritizes". To make sense, take out the s at the end.
3. Page 14: To grammatically make sense, on the bottom right panel where Lance is speaking, on the sentence "They seemed...", take out the "ed". This is supposed to be present tense.
4. Page 21: Second speech bubble on the first panel: in the sentence "...seemed to be beaten in an blink of the eye", change "an" to "a".
5. Page 22: Second speech bubble on first panel: change "Sinjoh" to "Sinnoh". They're talking about the region, not the ruins.
6. Page 25: "Judgment" is misspelled. Change that.

Anyways, I think that's it! After all these errors are corrected, one or two more people (preferably people with more keen eyes than mine) should probably do some final QC'ing and then I think it's ready to be published! (After half a year. -_-)

Okay, the fixed files have been uploaded to Google Drive as Updates.zip.

QC:

Page 6 - The font size for Director Hiro is larger than in the RAW scan. Pryce should not be in 'Italic mode'. The font for Lance is smaller than the other's.
Page 7 - Imitate the original RAW scan as close as possible. Use a similar font and font size and make it bold. Add 'Table of contents' to the gray circle. Add the page numbers to the list.
Page 10 - Move 'SFX: Thud' up to the middle of the white space.
Page 14 - Make 'SFX: GRRR' a little bigger and move it up to the middle of the white space.
Page 16 - Move 'SFX: CRACK' up to the middle of the white space.
Page 17 - Move 'SFX: RAWR' down to the middle of the white space.
Page 18 - Is it possible to position 'SFX: KAA' in the same angle as the white space?
Page 24, black rectangle to the right - Typeset 'Mysterious Pokémon' over the already existing 'Arceus' vertically. Make it seem as identical to the RAW scan as possible (font, font size, bold).
Page 25, 2nd white box - Change 'Pokemon' into 'Pokémon'.
Page 25, 3rd white box - Move down the 'ac' in 'ac' in 'accompanied' to the lowe row, so that the whole word is on the same row.
Page 25 - Move 'Plates' and 'Creation' up to the middle of their boxes.

After these things are corrected there will be another QC, I love manga has yet to submit her TLC and then a final QC. After that I will rename some files, add credit and recruitment images and do a (very near) lossless compression with PNGGauntlet. That will shrink the filesizes down a lot (sometimes to 60%, IIRC), while still leaving the images in identical quality.

I'm pretty sure I got everything.  Some of the SFX hasn't been translated yet, so I didn't include notes.  Pryce was never in Italics and I have no idea why it looks like that.  I rewrote the name.  I'm not sure where to find the RAWs, so I can't do much about page 7 except add table of contents and bold the text.

Here are the RAWs: http://jb2448.info/Japanese/Pocket_Monsters_SPECIAL_Volume_43

About page 7:
Also add the page numbers and try finding a font that looks similar to the Japanese one.

Okay, I think I got page 7 to look reasonably similar to the RAW and added the page numbers.
